This application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 907,223, filed on Sept. 15, 1986, now abandoned.
The present invention relates to 2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid derivatives which are useful as starting materials for 2,2-dimethyl-3-(2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoro-1-propenyl)cyclopropanecarboxylic acid esters known as fluorine-containing pyrethroid insecticides or intermediates for the synthesis of such insecticides (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publications Nos. 95945/1978, 112820/1979, 130537/1979, 59141/1980, 89248/1980 and 111488/1980).
For the production of 2,2-dimethyl-3-(2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoro-1-propenyl)cyclopropanecarboxylic acid esters, there have been known (i) a method wherein 1,1,1-trichlorotrifluoroethane is added to ethyl 3,3-dimethyl-4-pentenoate, followed by cyclization and dehydrohalogenation (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publications Nos. 95945/1978, 112820/1979 and 89248/1980), (ii) a method wherein the product is synthesized from 1,1,1-trifluoro-2-chloro-5-methyl-2,4hexadiene or 1,1,1-trifluoro-2,2-dichloro-5-methyl-4hexene and a diazoacetic acid ester (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publications Nos. 95945/1978 and 112820/1979, and J. Mol. Cat., 11, 119 (1981)), and (iii) a method wherein a ring-contraction reaction of 2-chloro-2-(2,2-dichloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropyl)-3,3-dimethylcyclobutanone is utilized (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 92830/1981). However, each of these methods requires a number of steps, and in the case of method (ii), the synthesis of the starting material is cumbersome. Thus, these methods have a drawback such that they are hardly useful for industrial production.
The present inventors have conducted extensive researches to overcome such drawbacks of the conventional methods and to provide a practical method for the production of 2,2-dimethyl-3-(2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoro-1-propenyl)cyclopropanecarboxylic acid esters, and have found that 2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid derivatives, represented by the formula I given hereinafter, are very useful as intermediates for the production of such esters. The present invention has been accomplished on the basis of this discovery.
The present invention provides a 2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid derivative having the formula: ##STR2## wherein R1 is an alkyl group or an aryl group, R2 is a hydrogen atom, an acyl group, a sulfonyl group or an alkyl group, and each of X1 and X2 is a halogen atom.
Now, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments.
The 2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid derivative of the formula I of the present invention can be produced, for instance, in accordance with the following reaction scheme. ##STR3##
In the above formulas, R1 is an alkyl group or an aryl group, R2, is an acyl group, a sulfonyl group or an alkyl group, and each of X1, X2 and X3 is a halogen atom.
This process comprises reacting a 2,2-dimethyl-3-formylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid ester of the formula II with a 1,1,1-trihalotrifluoroethane of the formula III in the presence of zinc powder, followed by hydrolysis to obtain a 2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid derivative of the formula I-a. The 2,2-dimethyl-3-formylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid ester of the formula II used as the starting material of this process is a compound which can readily be obtained in good yields, for instance, by the ozonolysis of a chrysanthemic acid ester. For instance, there may be mentioned methyl 2,2-dimethyl-3-formylcyclopropanecarboxylate, ethyl 2,2-dimethyl-3-formylcyclopropanecarboxylate, t-butyl 2,2-dimethyl-3-formylcyclopropanecarboxylate, phenyl 2,2-dimethyl-3-formylcyclopropanecarboxylate, benzyl 2,2-dimethyl-3-formylcyclopropanecarboxylate, 2-methyl-3-phenylbenzyl 2,2-dimethyl-3-formylcyclopropanecarboxylate, 3-phenoxybenzyl 2,2-dimethyl-3-formylcyclopropanecarboxylate, cyano(3-phenoxyphenyl)methyl 2,2-dimethyl-3-formylcyclopropanecarboxylate and pentafluorophenylmethyl 2,2-dimethyl-3-formylcyclopropanecarboxylate. The 1,1,1-trihalotrifluoroethane of the formula III as another starting material, is a compound which is readily commercially available. For instance, it is possible to employ 1,1,1-trichlorotrifluoroethane, 1-bromo-1,1-dichlorotrifluoroethane, 1,1-dibromo-1chlorotrifluoroethane, 1,1,1-tribromotrifluoroethane, 1,1-dichloro-tetrafluoroethane, 1-bromo-1-chlorotetrafluoroethane or 1,1-dibromotetrafluoroethane.
Zinc is preferably used in a powder form usually in an amount of from 0.5 to 2 equivalents, preferably from 1 to 1.5 equivalents.
The reaction is preferably conducted in an aprotic polar solvent. For instance, it is possible to employ an amide such as dimethylformamide or hexamethylphosphoric triamide, or a urea such as N,N-dimethylpropyleneurea, or a sulfoxide such as dimethyl sulfoxide. These solvents may be used in combination with usual aprotic organic solvents.
The reaction proceeds at a temperature of from -20° to 100° C. However, in order to conduct the reaction efficiently, it is preferred to conduct the reaction at a temperature of from 0° to 60° C.
This process comprises reacting a 2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid derivative of the formula I-a with an acylating agent, a sulfonylating agent or an alkylating agent in the presence of a base to obtain a 2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid derivative of the formula I-b.
As the acylating, sulfonylating or alkylating agent, there may be employed an acid anhydride such as acetic anhydride, benzoic anhydride, trifluoroacetic anhydride or methanesulfonic anhydride, an acid halide such as acetyl chloride, acetyl bromide, benzoyl chloride, methanesulfonyl chloride or p-toluenesulfonyl chloride, an alkyl halide such as methyl iodide or benzyl bromide, or a sulfuric acid ester such as dimethyl sulfate. The amount used is within a range of from a stoichiometric amount to a large excess, relative to the substrate.
In this process, the reaction is conducted in the presence of a base. As such a base, it is possible to employ a tertiary amine such as pyridine, 2,6-lutidine, triethylamine, diisopropylethylamine or 1,8-diazabicyclo[5,4,0]undec-7-ene, a carbonate such as potassium carbonate or sodium carbonate, or a metal hydride such as sodium hydride or potassium hydride, in a wide range of from the stoichiometric amount to a large excess, relative to the substrate.
The reaction can be conducted in a proper organic solvent or in the absence of a solvent. As the organic solvent, a hydrocarbon solvent such as hexane or benzene, an ether solvent such as diethyl ether or tetrahydrofuran, or an amide solvent such as dimethylformamide, may be employed. They may be used alone or in combination as a mixture.
The reaction proceeds at a temperature of from -50° to 100° C. In order to conduct the reaction efficiently, however, it is preferred to conduct the reaction at a temperature of from 0° to 50° C.
This process comprises reacting a 2,2-dimethyl-3-formylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid ester of the formula II with a 1,1,1-trihalotrifluoroethane of the formula III in the presence of zinc powder, followed by a direct reaction with an electrophilic agent such as acylating agent, a sulfonylating agent or an alkylating agent, to obtain a 2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid derivative of the formula I-b. As the starting materials of this process i.e. the 2,2-dimethyl-3-formycyclopropanecarboxylic acid ester of the formula II and the 1,1,1-trihalotrifluoroethane of the formula III, those mentioned in process A can be used. Likewise, the reaction conditions such as the amount of the zinc powder, the solvent, the reaction temperature, etc., may be the same as those in process A.
For the electrophilic agent such as the acylating, sulfonylating or alkylating agent, to be used in this process, those mentioned in process B may be employed. These agents may be employed in an amount within a range of from the stoichiometric amount to a large excess relative to the substrate of the formula II. The electrophilic agent may be added within a temperature range of from -50° to 100°C In order to conduct the reaction efficiently, however, a temperature of from 0° to 50°C is preferred.
Now, the present invention will be described in further detail in Reference Examples in addition to Examples. However, it should be understood that the present invention is by no means restricted to these specific Examples. REFERENCE EXAMPLE 1 ##STR4##
